Townsend, Tennessee - Fly Fishing in the Great Smoky Mountains, East Tennessee and Western North Carolina

If you do not see today’s Fishing Report, please refresh your browser to empty your cache.

Welcome to the Fishing Report from Townsend, Tennessee in the Great Smoky Mountains. At 5:40 am, the temperature outside is 63.5 degrees.

Today will be very warm with a high temperature in the low 70’s. We have a slight chance for showers today. Showers and thunderstorms are likely tonight, with a low temperature in the upper 40’s. Rainfall of up to a quarter of an inch is expected with higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. It will be windy tonight. Strong winds are predicted for the mountains and foothills.

Little River is flowing at 232 cubic feet per second (cfs) or 2.10 feet on the flow gauge. Median flow for this date is 317 cfs. The water temperature is 52.7 degrees.

Most streams in the Smokies are flowing near normal today. The streams are warm, especially in the lower elevations.

Today may turn out to be a very good fishing day. Take a rain jacket. It will be mostly cloudy, which is an advantage to the angler. Stream flows and water temperatures are very good. Trout will be active.

Nymphs and streamers will work best most of the day. I would use my favorite nymph patterns, Prince, Tellico, Hare’s Ear or Pheasant Tail. For my streamer, I would chose a Muddler Minnow or other Sculpin pattern.

There is a chance for surface feeding if you encounter a hatch today. Blue Wing Olives, midges and other aquatic insect activity is possible.

Lowland river fishing where trout have been stocked will be good today.

TVA and the Corps of Engineers are flushing water through most of their dams today, in anticipation for possible heavy rainfall today and later this week. All of the dam generation schedules I checked this morning indicate high water on the tailwaters nearby.

Your best fly fishing choices today are the mountain streams and the lowland rivers.

Our free Saturday fly tying demonstrations begin next Saturday, January 4th. Walter Babb and Brian Courtney will be tying. They will begin at 9 am and tie until 2 pm. All you have to do is show up.

Our free Winter demonstrations will be held every Saturday through March 7th. There are normally two to three fly tyers demonstrating at the same time, in different locations at the shop. We have chairs at each station for your comfort. You can move from one tyer to the other throughout the day. Though these folks are tying flies, you can also talk to them about their fishing experiences which are varied. You will learn from these anglers and have a great time while you are here.

We have been holding these events for over twenty years  and they are popular.

They give everyone, including us, something to look forward to on those cold Winter days.

You can see our fly tying demonstration schedule by CLICKING HERE. It is not complete quite yet.

Have a great day and thank you for being here with us.
